Wonder where he got his idea from? I take cashiers cheques.

For all the kids with new jobs, several have another wave of kids behind them. And for all the guys they've groomed, pay day is coming soon for a lot of them at once.

Quarterback Matt Moore was given the starting job but immediately was put on notice with the drafting of Jimmy Clausen and Tony Pike. Moore enters a contract year, making quarterback a situation to watch.

It's similar to the running back situation, where DeAngelo Williams has one year left but Jonathan Stewart is signed through 2012.

Center Ryan Kalil's contract is the only offensive lineman's up after this year, but he's in line for a huge deal.

On defense, five of the nine linemen are in some degree of contract years, and a sixth (defensive end Tyler Brayton) might as well be.

Injured linebacker Thomas Davis and cornerback Richard Marshall would have been unrestricted free agents this offseason but for rules that came into play with the league's uncapped year.

That's left them with 24 players whose deals will expire after this season, and at least five potentially big ones.

The last time the Panthers had this much work was entering the 2009 offseason. They worked mega-extensions with cornerback Chris Gamble the previous November and left tackle Jordan Gross at the deadline, enabling them to keep Peppers with the franchise tag.

But even though those were three huge-money deals, the next offseason potentially could dwarf it.

For all the offseason change, only two departed players appear poised to make a significant impact on their new teams - Cleveland quarterback Jake Delhomme and Chicago defensive end Julius Peppers. The rest are either looking for work or playing complementary roles with new teams.

I've been saying this for a while now. With all due respect to the guys we cut, they weren't and bunch of all-world talent. Most of the guys taking their spot are a combination of, younger/better/cheaper/have more potential or all of the above.

so i guess we're just destined for failure this season because we have sooooo many unknowns. Matt Moore is gonna throw 7 TDs and 19 INTs. j-stew and DW are both gonna break their legs, and we'll end up with Goodson only rushing for 300yds.... while Steve Smith struggles and only puts up 400 yds and 2 TDs. and our defense, don't get me started... worst defense in the league! Jon Beason will finally show his true "scrub" colors.

:beatdeadhorse5: :lurk5:

i hate the media and how they never show the Cardiac Cats any respect. Steve Smith is gonna have to let 'em know what the rules and regulations of the game are, once again, this season... which is simply 89, bottom line.

Oh give me a break! I lol every time you guys think the Observer steals ideas from here. I doubt most of them even read this silly board (or the other Panther boards), and as sports writers, there's a pretty decent chance they can think about the same stuff we fans talk about here.

You'd be wrong. Most have told me they do read it.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
